It targets ich parasites in both freshwater and saltwater fish and helps support a protective slime coat during an outbreak. While results can vary based on tank conditions and timing, many hobbyists use it to manage white spot disease in a routine care plan. With almost 60 years of API experience, this solution sits alongside testing kits, water conditioners, and quality foods to help you maintain a healthy underwater world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it treats and how it helps\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe product is formulated to address ich (Ichthyophthirius) in fish and may support the fish’s natural defenses as the parasite is addressed.
